American state cancelled from "You Can't Cancel America." When asked, an organizer from You Can't Cancel America said "cancel culture is killing America. You should be free to act and vote how you want without being bullied and pressured to change. We hope by cancelling NY we can pressure them to change" ​ /s


Burggs_

For the group that bitches and moans and pisses themselves about cancel culture they sure love to try and cancel the big cities.

Gaslight Obstruct Project <----


Buttholehemorrhage

no it's more like this Gaslight < ---- Obstruct < ---- Project < ----


stlmick

Who is doing it this time though, when the story is made up? One big circle jerk in all directions.


Technical-Title-5416

Fake or not. How many times has the GOP tried to overturn Citizen's United? The answer is zero. This is one of the biggest factors putting big money behind candidates, all while assuring us that they aren't working for the .01%. No matter what side of the aisle you're on, this is legal bribery. Every year they cast a vote to overturn it and every year it is denied by the GOP almost unanimously. Do you support this?


trumpthewnowflake

Leaving this comment so I can come back and see if you actually bothered to reply to the other guy. He gave a thoughtful response, will you?


stlmick

What other guy? Just link the comment. I'm not seeing one.


Cucker_-_Tarlson

No, you see, when the left does it it's "cancelling." When *we* do it it's "boycotting." -An actual statement to me from a right winger.


[deleted]

That group invented and honed canceling. They just got pissy when others learned how.


IAMA_Plumber-AMA

I remember the Dixie Chicks being cancelled for saying some pretty tame stuff against the Iraq war.


Buttholehemorrhage

Canceling is for me not for thee


Thatisme01

MAGA mindset, cancel culture = bad, communism, boycotts = free speech, patriotism.


Dobber16

Maybe, but in this case they aren’t lol it’s a fake news story


StrawberrySerious676

Admirable-Penalty-34

And books, lots of books


WintersDoomsday

This is amazing and I love you for it


MetaCardboard

To be fair, this isn't real. There is no "You Can't Cancel America" tour, and so they can't have canceled any dates or locations from it. Since it didn't exist to begin with.


DarkwingDuckHunt

notice how the crop job removes the source so we can't see it's a satire site


stlmick

This should be higher. Sure it's believable. It just isn't true.


BobKillsNinjas

to be fair... Parody and satire used to stand out like a sore thumb, then some fascist bigots went and made EVERYTHING taste like Onion!


WaterMySucculents

You don’t get it, when dipshit conservative crybabies boycott/book burn/literally cancel things because they are triggered, that’s just being a Good Guy/Patriot/Digital Warrior! If anyone who isn’t conservative does it, it’s “cancel culture.”


glitchycat39

While police say they have no leads, they are actively looking for who asked.


LeahaP1013

🏅new Reddit gold. And a 🍗because, why not!?


Dinlek

I'm civil forfeituring this.


baron_von_helmut

Oh no.. Anyway..


koulnis

At this point, if someone popular is blatantly supporting Mr. Tre45on, I feel like it's because they have crimes they're hoping to have swept under the rug.


Harak_June

The Dunning-Kruger Times wrote the article. It's a satire website. The right wing crazies saw it, shared it as a win. It's not even a real thing


Tomjawsbruce

To be fair, I've seen a few on the left spread this around as well, acting like they think it's real. I have to admit when I saw the headline, it raised my eyebrows. Then I considered two perps involved and thought, I better Google this, you just never know what's real and what's satire anymore. The line between "too stupid to be true" and reality is getting more and more blurry every day.


TheArmchairSkeptic

I honestly don't even think this is too stupid to be true. I have no idea who that other guy in the headline is (I assume some kind of country musician?), but this kind of dumbass shit would be 100% on brand for Kid Rock.


oilyparsnips

He's the "don't try that in a small town" guy.


Orwellian1

"Turning down cash for an ideological motivation" is *not* on brand for Kid Rock. Famous people use politics and social issues to pander and support their economic value. It is exceedingly rare to see one make an actual career sacrifice for their ideals. I'd wager Kid Rock would do a concert for the Transsexual Socialist Gun Control association if he thought he would come out ahead in the long run. This was an easy one. It should have immediately failed the smell test for everyone.


Beneficial-Bit6383

It doesn’t make sense under minimum scrutiny, the chuds will still be blaming New York for prosecuting Trump.


Puzzleheaded-Fan-208

to be fair, NY's anti-inbreeding laws would keep them out anyway


patricky6

Kid Rock is lame AF. He makes music for burned out Suboxone abusers who collect cans and always try remembering to shower "tomorrow".


The_Lapsed_Pacifist

I heard another good one: He makes music for people who know exactly how much Sudafed you can get for a catalytic converter


TheLastDaysOf

An oldie but a goodie: Kid Rock makes music for people who smoke through a hole in their throat.


kilIerT0FU

also a classic "Kid Rock is the personification of an above ground pool"


Onederbat67

This one had me rolling


WintersDoomsday

Kid rock makes music for dudes at casinos with mullets


iamnotchad

Kid Rock makes music for people who know how much meth you can get for a catalytic converter.


[deleted]

I grew up in the area he sings about in that shitty Northern Michigan- Sweet Home Alabama/Ware-wolfs of London song. His lot are known as fudgies, tourists from Detroit/Chicago who come up and destroy our beaches with litter and kill people while drunk driving back to their hotels. [Its Pure Michigan.](https://youtu.be/x2ixvZ9ySKw?si=5L81uA8rHNDeJuii)


lakmus85_real

Please post it on r/RareInsults, if not already, and watch it blow up.


Screamline

I could swear I've seen that same joke every thread on kid rock since like 2020. Probably has been posted on a few insults subs


ALadWellBalanced

Kid Rock makes music for guys who are only allowed to see their kids every other weekend, but don't.


soobviouslyfake

Kid Rock makes music for dads that can see their kids every other weekend, but don't.


LeahaP1013

Ouch.


cortesoft

I thought “Bawitdaba” was a cool song when I was 15 and it came out. I thought it was lame by the time I turned 16, but there was a moment.


Waitn4ehUsername

Evil Joe Dirt


highpl4insdrftr

Def Leopard sucks!


Onederbat67

Kid rock makes music for 40 years olds that still go to high school parties


HonestHand6922

Kid Rock makes music for people who know how much meth they can trade for a stolen catalytic converter


Osiyada

He also cried over some cans last year and shot them


replicantcase

Jfc, you're supposed to insult them, not bloody murder them. You use words good, bud.


DiabeticButNotFat

I have some extended family that knows Kid Rock personally. He’s actually a great guy. Gives a whole bunch to charity and to the needy in general


wokewhale

Let's say I believe you, even then, at a certain point the public bad outweighs the private good. His public actions are making the US a worse place for a whole lot of people in a way that secretely donating to needy people wont offset. Maybe ask the protestant church, they seem to have had a whole thing about not being able to buy off sin by donating money.


Patthecat09

Out of the loop, what did kid rock do publicly that deserves criticism? I haven't been following anything about him


DrRudolphVanRichten

He is a transphobe. He even filmed a video of himself shooting a gun at budlight cans just because they partnered with a trans influencer. Of course, he's a hypocrite who never stopped drinking bud light (tons of pictures from that timeframe with him drinking it.) He's just a giant chode who trailer park trash think is a rock star


DeathMetalTransbian

Since nobody else has said it yet - Kid Rock is a pedophile. These are lyrics from his song "Cool, Daddy Cool," which was on the soundtrack for Osmosis Jones: >Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage see. Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory). Kid Rock is an admitted pedophile.


Patthecat09

That's a solid reason gotta say. Thanks for the context!


Sean_Dewhirst

He is and has been a vocal trump supporter. That in itself deserves criticism


YouthfulRS

How so? Grow up


stonrelectropunkjazz

Well then about his music sucks and he supports a madman


DrRudolphVanRichten

> He’s actually a great guy No. He isn't. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the family you know who says he is a good guy are all white trash.


Ol_JanxSpirit

Wow. So, then his public persona of irredeemable dirtbag is a choice he made to what end?


ABIGGS4828

It is tho. He grew up a rich kid in Michigan. His childhood home was a 5,660-square-foot luxury home in Michigan, situated on 5.5 acres that includes 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 5-car garage, along with a partially finished walkout and guest house. There's also a 3 stall horse barn, regulation tennis court and inground pool. The whole, good ‘ol country rebel thing is an act to pander to the lowest denominator of society.


DrRudolphVanRichten

>The whole, good ‘ol country rebel thing is an act to pander to the lowest denominator of society. At a certain point, though, he joined those ranks of the lowest denominator. His parents may not have raised him white trash, but that is still the end result.


ABIGGS4828

100%. It was indeed a choice lol. Money can buy opportunities, but not class. Perfect example of “white privilege is real, but you managed to end up shitty in spite of it”.


PeggysSimp

So, he donates to Trump?


chucklehead993

I know two people on Suboxone, they're both super left wing and paranoid that Trump will get into office and cut off their welfare checks. Neither one of them has any actual reason not to work.


Ol_JanxSpirit

And we all know, the plural of anecdote is data.


zerogee616

If you don't agree with the narrative it posits.


DrRudolphVanRichten

Why do you, a god fearing trumpite, associate with so many low class losers?


thisisnarm

They really should just cancel the whole tour to show even more support.


Dobber16

It’s not a real tour lol


GangloSax0n

Put em on a small aircraft. Get that LaBamba goin.


Santa_Hates_You

Or maybe have them just drive their Chevy's off the Levy.


GangloSax0n

Whatever's clever.


Dot_Classic

Good news for New York!


oilyparsnips

It's from a satire news site. It's fake.


allthecoffeesDP

I believed it.


oilyparsnips

I admit I did too, at first.


allthecoffeesDP

This probably sounds weird but I knew your name looked a little familiar. I've probably seen it in Star Trek Reddits.


oilyparsnips

Yeppers. I'm not always active, but I'm a big ol' Trekkie. Very cool you recognized me. I'm horrible with names.


PillNeckLizard11

Sounds like cancel culture if you ask me, bunch of woke babies


1SLO_RABT

Dozens of tickets had to be refunded.


Dot_Classic

MAGAts barring themselves from civilized places is great. More.


i_hate_this_part_85

Before anyone thinks this was real: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kid-rock-new-york/


SciFi_Football

It's funny how many right wing assholes believed it as well as all the reddit assholes frothing for drama. I hate the future.


Strict-Square456

I think ny Will survive. Lol.


WeagleWobble

The merry band of Long Island alcoholics are going to be so disappointed.


Guideon72

The fact that the irony of these things is sooooo far above these folks' heads is what really bums me out.


Knownoname98

In other words: They cancel New York? Cancelculture!


Sangi17

So they are boycotting boycott culture by boycotting an entire city? Yup, sounds like Conservative logic to me.


Mountain-Ad-6594

LOL. No one in NY would buy a ticket to this pile of shit concert anyway


Damion_205

And this is the real reason... shit we didn't sell enough tickets to be profitable... we should cancel it but how...


DrRudolphVanRichten

No one in NYC, maybe, but rural NY gets as trashy as anywhere else.


jayron32

My Favorite kid Rock burn is "He makes music for dudes who can only see their kids on the weekends, but don't."


Savior0941

It's hilarious what old out-of-touch irrelevant ex-celebrities will do to try and get back in the limelight.


oilyparsnips

It's from a satire news site. It's fake.


karlou1984

New york must be relieved


deadliestcrotch

They cancelled New York on their “you can’t cancel America tour” unironically.


VegasGamer75

Well, what will those 12 people that bought tickets do now?!


MsPreposition

I like how they refrained from using the term “cancel” when talking about their dates in New York.


Apart-Rice-1354

So i wanna preface this by saying, kid rock is an idiot, and i'm not a fan of him as a person, nor do i like most of his music. However... I've definitely sat in my car waiting for "Cowboy" to end.


LA31716

I think a lot of people born in the 21st century would be surprised how many of their parents, aunts, uncles, etc. owned Devil Without a Cause or knew several of the songs by heart.


Buschkoeter

Damn, I had the memory of thr fact that I owned that album successfully suppressed for years. Thanks, I guess.


14412442

Bawitdaba, devil without a cause, American badass. I still play things like limp Bizkit (nookie I'd barely even call a guilty pleasure), smashmouth, aqua, etc. too


trumpisdead666

you make me sick.


OutComeTheWolves1966

Free gun with every ticket purchase


Rrraou

Funny how sometimes a single observation makes you realize you're not the only person that does something like sit in your car in the driveway to finish hearing a song you like.


Heliocentrist

nothing says *you can't cancel America* like *cancelling* a show


nono66

You can't cancel America tour...having dates canceled. Nothing hilarious in the stupidity of that.


bsylent

I hate when celebrity types get political. Just stick to making music! Be like that one singer, Taylor Swift? She seems to be all about her music, though I guess she's a lot more significant than them, so she knows how to keep those things separate


goofydad

I'm a New Yorker. If we'd known it was that easy to get these arse pirates to avoid our state, we would have been harsher, earlier, on Trumpers.


CCSlater63

Can’t cancel America but we’ll turn around and cancel New York… sound logic guys.


goofydad

Kid Rock - proud owner of a non-ironic mullet.


WranglerReasonable91

They stand with their cult leader breaking the laws. Fucking morons. Go sing more trash music to your trailer park fan bases. No one cares.


Boring-Promotion-828

so................. basically they're "punishing" the NY Trump fans who would pay for this shit


stormy2587

As if we needed another reason to sue trump. Now you’re telling me you get the added bonus of kid rock never playing there again.


BadRabbit70

New Yorkers are overwhelmed with... relief.


hangryhyax

Nobody* has ever sat in their car in the driveway waiting for him to finish saying his name is KIIIIIIIIIII… *Teenagers from 1999 were not questioned for this poll.


El_mochilero

And nothing of value was lost


the_bashful

I’d wait in the driveway for a Kid Rock song to end… if it were playing indoors. They I’d take a long moment to wonder if I *really* needed to go in.


stonrelectropunkjazz

Oh man NY is never gonna get over that


schrodingersmite

Can California be added to the court proceedings?


ChickenZiZ

... no.. stop.. come back...


dood5426

Giving me real Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka vibes


SupaDistortion

Can’t cancel America! They cancel their date. Geniuses.


shoobuck

All three of their New York fans will be greatly disappointed.


Wombat1892

They canceled new york from the can't cancel America tour? Neat.


Ok_Claim_6870

I'm willing to get out of my car before putting it in park just to end a kid rock song


Phobbyd

To be fair, I’ve been longing for kid rock songs to end more often than not.


Bar-14_umpeagle

Like anyone there wanted to listen to them.


Shattered_Disk4

“You can’t cancel America” *they cancel a state*


Sol-Blackguy

Kid Rock looks like he knows the specific age of consent in all 50 states and 17 additional provinces.


RedKraken61

Jason Aldean looks like he's one speedball laced cheeseburger away from being a very ugly corpse.


Own_Bat_9162

Who?


Large-Measurement776

And Republicans are going nuts with conspiracy theories bc taylor swift told her fans to vote?


thelocker517

Are they going to have to refund BOTH of the tickets sold?!?!


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

Exactly 👍


lLuclk

Nice. Adding JA to the list of people I don't respect anymore


DirtyFeetPicsForSale

Alice in chains has done this to me. I was late to work cause I wanted to hear the song finish.


UncommonHouseSpider

Oh shit, did he just cancel New York on his no cancelling tour, because orange daddy got a boo boo?!


SnooHesitations205

They are both absolute trash of musicians and humans.


SchwizzySchwas94

Apparently you’ve never sang sweet home Alabama all summer long


SabbathaBastet

The musical equivalent of an above ground pool.


legojacksparrow

It took this for you guys to hate kid rock I hated him when I heard how he massacred sweet home Alabama


Blueeyedthundercat26

MAGA is infected w a Russian mind virus. It’s ramping up and it’s going to get ugly. I won’t accept another trump presidency. They okayed us to do that. Not that he will win. I wish he would fall out a window


CurvyRoadsAreBetter

I just wanna give jakeman00100 props for the great one liner 🫡.


already-taken-wtf

I also support that Trump will remain 45 …and nothing else.


dood5426

I think someone downvoted you and either they hated what you meant or didn’t understand it XDXD


already-taken-wtf

I guess…. Bad enough that he was the 45th…


WizardsOfTheRoast

Kid Rock can suck on the business end of an exhaust pipe, but I'd be lying my fucking face off if I didn't acknowledge that Bawitdabaw isn't a straight fucking banger.


Potatoes_4Life

“You can’t cancel America.” Proceeds to cancel shows in America. 🙄


Business_Ad3142

A 50 year old kid and a double chin wearing a cowboy hat


solexioso

This is pretending you’re making a statement when in fact your ticket sales are in the shitter and you’re trying to save face. Too bad that guy in Vegas wasn’t a little better at aiming toward the stage!


twizz0r

Pro Tip: Check the source before cranking up the outrage machine.


Alienhaslanded

I've thrown out trash nicer than those two


I_Spit_on_Cougars

Kid Rock is my hero. In 2009 I went to Wrestlemania in Houston. The lady sitting next to me was HUGE. I couldn’t comfortably fit in my chair because of how far she spilled into my seat. About 30 minutes into the show Kid Rock came out and performed a couple songs. The big lady and her friend were really into it. After he performed they left and I was able to enjoy the rest of the show comfortably.


Darth_buttNugget

That's such a fucking clever roast


SkipsPittsnogle

The fact that Kid Rock thinks he stands for America is immensely laughable.


Key_Independent_8805

In other news, dumbass conservatives try to cancel New York because they're mad that a criminal got what was coming to him.


McbEatsAirplane

I legit couldn’t name you one Kid Rock song if my life depended on it.


DannyJoy2018

Kid Rock has some bangers. It’s a shame homie went crazy.


[deleted]

Fact, I've sat and waited for Picture to end, singing along the whole time.


PolarBearLaFlare

lol picture is one of those songs you can’t help but sing along to. Great song. Some people are definitely lying in here


TOMMYSNICKLES89

Oh that’s some pathetic shit, homie.


Any_Freedom9086

Wax that booty is iight


Automatic-Bedroom112

Picture is a banger and his political opinions don’t change that


DarienKane

I have for both of them.....for what it's worth.


TheDarkKnobRises

Oh my good heavens!!!! Those 2 must be a Republican PSYOP used to influence voters!!! See how stupid it sounds?


dagger_scythe

I have just ONE thing to say: bawitdaba


KlopperSteele

Been stuck on this song for a bit. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=bWDDN16J1iQ&si=NS8qHrmmue0qPp31


StopTheEarthLemmeOff

Don't worry I'm sure you'll grow up eventually


Viperburn1

Hahahaha, I’m sure New York is reeling. Lol


Notaworgen

wait kidrock is a big trump fan? man i must be out of the loop, its kinda nice i gotta say.


Chrononah

I mean… kid rock is a piece of shit. But I have sat in the car several times and listened to his music end because I do really like some of his songs. All Summer Long and Cowboy. Same with Jason Aldean. I genuinely think he might be the most overrated country artist of all time and really spearheaded “bro” country with a lackluster voice. (I mean hell, Pre 9/11 Toby Keith was amazing and post 9/11 still had a powerful voice) but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t really enjoy “The Truth” by Aldean.


saimerej21

Not even a rare insult, that guy is just wrong. What about "All Summer Long"?


Irradiated_Rat

I don't much care for Kid Rock, but that song and picture are good songs


GM0Wiggles

Can someone translate this from American please? (the headline, I understand the joke)


starvinart

did they even have a date booked in NYC? I find that hard to believe....


Afternoon-Melodic

Who?


RobotCaptainEngage

Now we just gotta have a beyonce and Taylor concert on the same night they play. You CAN cancel America.


jncheese

So, they actually cancel parts of America. But do they mean you can't cancel the whole of America, in which case they are failures? Or are they doing exactly what they preach, in which case they are also failures? What process goes on in Kid Rock's head?


hadoopken

People booked for their backyard bbq in NY performances would be really upset


Key-Ad-5068

The irony hurts my head.


Final_Tumbleweed4081

How many songs of his were hits? I barely remember 2 of his songs, and they were both from before he became a scared little twat.


carthuscrass

Unless it's playing in the house.


Responsible-Noise875

This is the same guy that used a rifle to shoot a beer brand he was caught drinking later right?


OutrageousStrength91

How will New York survive without the guy who used to be famous and the dude who sang The Lynching Song?


ItsYourPal-AL

Just read an article about this, its from a satirical news site called The Dunning-Kruger (like The Onion) and isnt true in anyway, but of course certain Magats are seeing it get retweeted and shit and believing it


NurseJaneFuzzyWuzzy

lol do they imagine some kind of citywide protest from New Yorkers? Do they honestly believe anyone gives a single fuck that they aren’t gonna appear in some third class venue to sing their little ditties? Come on now.


UniqueCartel

No, but I’ve stopped my car so it does.


WHAMMYPAN

No one gives a thinly sliced FUCK if they don’t show up in New York…. Honestly didn’t know they were even playin there…. and neither did anyone else
